The film tells the story of the participants of scientific expeditions at the Akademik Vernadsky station, who, despite the full-scale war, continue to develop Ukrainian science and who protect us at the front.

Among the film's protagonists are Ukrainian polar explorers who are currently serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and who will be returning to serve immediately after the expedition. They are convinced that Ukraine's Antarctic program should develop, despite the war and the enemy's attempts to destroy Ukraine, as Antarctica is a window into the world of global science.
